Something always happens to Nishioka when he plays Jack Sock. Retired a set up but down 0-4 in the second yesterday.

The 0-4 is misleading as he was injured. I wish Jack Sock would go away. These tournaments keep giving him wildcards without even qualifying. 

Whoever uploaded these videos in this way should be slapped, but Elias Ymer and Jordan Thompson almost came to blows in D.C. after Thompson accused Ymer of hitting a ball that bounced twice (it didn’t) and not being honest about it:

Saw he beat Norrie. That’s a solid win.

Roger Federer out of Canada and Cincy tournaments.

Rafa will more than likely pull out of Canada tourney and maybe even Cincy

Was looking forward to Coco G vs Vika.  I blinked and it was over (6/1 in the second set).  Vika is another player that has very little inspiration [at times] if Serena is not on the other end. 

Sloane Sloane Sloane...sigh

Was Prakash twerking for Coco G?

Wow. Mackie McDonald beat Kei. Makes his first ATP final and will play Jannik Sinner.

Sinner will beat him tomorrow. Kei screwed up. Mackie should've lost to Krygios... but Nick loses interest playing lower ranked players.

Roger Federer celebrating his 40th today, I thought he retired? Did he unretire?

Roger has yet to retire.  He takes breaks because, at 40, he's not able to play a calenders year.  He picks and chooses his tournies, much like Serena (and now Rafa). Roger has also had a few surgeries he needed to recover from.  

I’ve been waiting for Collins to have a breakthrough.  I could see her winning a slam and I wondered why she wasn’t an Olympics entry.  Didn’t know she was so far down the American totem pole.  She’s got all of the pieces IMO even above Brady, Keys, Riske, etc.  I have to look and see who went to the Olympics from the US. Didn’t see much of the Tennis there.  Collins is a player I bet people don’t want in their draw.  

Sinner almost choked this match away.
